Have i seen this range before?
Resting in Theodore now. Days and nights have been baking hot and humid. Rode during the night to avoid the sun, but it was still hot. Where's the cool?
Have started using Areogard as had so many mossie bites i looked like a plague victim. Now i bath several times a day in the repellent. Is this the same as washing?
My clothes and me have not been dry for days.Constant wet cloths, the humidity, get smelly fast.With mossie bites, wet clothes, and i'm looking thinner i get lots of personal space at rest stops.
You can eat 2 minute noodles with out cooking. They are yummy!Even the flavour packets are good-but some are hot and spicy.Save them for the baked beans.

Well the last few days have been pedal, pedal, pedal. Into a headwind the whole time. Been doing 100km days.Long and slow.
See if you can spot the difference on the from and to photos. Big empty spaces. The headwinds keep the flies down though.But watch out at night, the mozzies are bad. I sleep to there buzzing - outside the tent.
Been camping by the road, but today a combo of tired and needing a wash, have had a short day. To celebrate 1000km tomorrow, i've my first shower in Qld. The clothes got washed also.:)

Well the might sleep was not good. Too many dogs barking all night.Used earplugs.The next day was feeling like pedalling. At 110km the feeling passed.But still another 15 go.Was tired that night. Now i'm in Queensland:) at Goodiwindi. Will go further today, but not as far as yesterday.

Finished reading my books.filled my belly and had a rest.Hot shower was nice also.But was restless, so today moved to Bingara.
Was easy 60km ride. Got new max speed of 73.78km/hr.But there didn't seem to be much of an up hill.
Check my camp site.
Thanks to the Sims and the Bailey's for a yummy hot x bun, sandwich, easter eggs and ginger beer.thanks to another couple for home made biscuits. Very spoilt I am today.

This photo will not capture a fraction of the light that the setting sun shows about my tent. The day ends beautifully. The air is cool (finally), my belly is full, Pachelbel on piano is playing. Its been a restful day.
